The Flowers To Fairford Demo held at Fairford US airbase on March 22nd 2003 is infamous now because the British state abused it's powers by turning back coachloads of demonstrators from London who wanted to take part in this peaceful demonstration against the war in Iraq. These photographs show that there was absolutely no threat of serious disruption by the demonstrators whose main aim was to lay flowers at the main gate of the base in memory of those who had lost their lives up to that point. The police presence on this small demo was completely over the top and designed to intimidate protesters. Look out for the police photographers who seemed hell bent on capturing everyone for their records, I hope they got my good profile!!
